Talk:GvSIG Valencia mapping party

Raster maps of current OSM data of Valencia may be generated and prepared for use with PDA/laptop software like gvSIG Mobile, gvSIG Desktop, OZI Explorer CE and OZI Explorer. OSMtiledownloader can be used to produce png and map files for OZI.

Tile maps of current OSM data of Valencia may be generated and prepared for use with PDA/laptop software like OSMtracker. OSMtiledownloader can be used to download these tiles.

An FTP site should be provided to upload these files, since they weigh more than 1MB.

Other proposals:

To plot a big map at the end of the party to show the results in the gvSIG conference, like they will do in the Gerona mapping party.

Prior to the survey/mapping activities, we could agree on which streets will be considered as primary or trunk roads. I would also add secondary/terciary roads, as it's been made in Madrid.

¿Do we track bike-lanes? It's possible with OSM, but ¿do we register them? I think it's a good idea. Here you have a couple of resources for bike-lanes 12 in Valencia.

¿What about near main roads? I mean major roads connecting surroundings areas of Valencia (e.g. CV-35, CV-30 -plan sur-, Ronda Norte, A-3, ...) I think it would be great, as Valencia seems now to be an island.

¿Multiligual names? I'd rather use one language ¿the name written on the plate? ¿Always Spanish?

There's a lot of practical information about how to organize a mapping party in this Mapping Weekend Howto.

Materials

These are the best coordinates I could prepare for georeferencing the file Valencia_centre_17x.png. You can save it as a CSV file and import it with gvSIG when georeferencing the image. The result is not perfect, though. If someone knows how to correct it please feel free to do it :)

Tutorial

If you are not familiar with JOSM (the desktop editor for OpenStreetMap), you can have a look at this JOSM Tutorial, only in Spanish at the moment (as there are only Spanish users subscribed to this mapping party)
